No trespassing

March 23, 2011

To the editor:

To my neighbors, the sign in my yard is not for you.

It’s for the people I have seen nosing around in my yard during broad daylight. If it deters one person, it’s worth it. As a fact my homeowners insurance company told me to put no trespassing signs at all four corners of my property. Seems the small ones can’t be seen.

People who know us will understand. Others, oh well.

If you read the police blotter, you will understand. People are stealing any and everything any more. What is on our property is ours or friends who asked to put it there. It’s not free for the taking.

With all due respect to the Police; I highly respect them. (I grew up with police, and lawyers in my family.) They are stretched too thin. They can’t be everywhere. Most people are gone by the time they can get there.
